University Hall, Colonial university building at Brown University, Providence, United States.
The red brick structure spans 150 feet in length and rises four stories high with a central cupola and symmetrical windows throughout its facade.
Built in 1770, University Hall remains one of seven college buildings constructed before the American Revolution and housed troops during the independence campaign.
The building represents late Georgian academic architecture with its rectangular form, hipped roof, and ornamental balustrade reflecting educational design principles of colonial America.
The structure contains administrative offices, including the President's office, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of the Registrar on different floors.
During the Revolutionary War, the edifice accommodated French and American forces under General Washington as they prepared for the Siege of Yorktown.
